The one cup to order

An espresso or a latte, at the bar with the regulars, then a bagel down the street

When it's quiet: Weekday mornings.

Mile End's Italian café since 1970, still loud and still the neighborhood's living room.

Espresso at home: the Roman shot, dialled in by weight

Espresso at home: the Roman shot, dialled in by weight

10 min including warm-up · 1 double shot. The shot every Roman and Neapolitan bar on the chart lives by. A home machine can pull a very good one once you measure what goes in and what comes out.
